Well I did my test by using a hotspot , but the account still got suspended within 20 mins of first listing .
Im not sure why they all keep getting suspended if it’s not an ip problem .
I have no idea how I’m going to create any new accounts , everything was working so perfectly before December

You can only get suspended so many times before you freak the bots out. Something you are doing is obviously flawed because you shouldn't have this many problems. If you have the same information used on repeat I would take a break, or change the data. Kinda hard since you have to use real information...
This is why each account we make must be treated extremely carefully. Can't just burn accounts.

If account is strong and ebay system is over with christmas ban, then you can list whatever you want without buying…..

Are you serious ? Do you think someone at eBay is sitting all day and is banning accounts ? It’s all automated by an algorithm which is scanning each new account and then determines which positive actions have been executed along side with the potential risk. No monkeys are banning your new accounts. Quote:

If it was, then all my accounts would have been toast too. I run very very big amazon accounts and I exclusively use their Residential IP with no problems whatsoever.

We should all do our best to increase chances for accounts to last. If you open a brand new account, and your first activity within that day is listing something shortly afterwards, you roll the dice. I don't think eBay checks fingerprints or all these things some are paranoid about, but algo's do flag accounts.
The smartest approach to listing on eBay is treating it like you would if you had never sold on the platform before. I doubt 90%+ people who have never created an account with eBay before open a brand new account and immediately start selling something. It's not normal behavior, and that's what algo's search for.

I have no idea how I’m going to create any new accounts , everything was working so perfectly before December | Same thing happened to me and when I called they did an entire credit check questioning...4 to 5 questions about passed addresses and people I know ...and blah blah...
20 mins is it all it took for them to ban it...since than I use phones but even the phone accounts on last so long...but that might have been on my selling pattern and items. So It guess or check for me. I'm tired of burning phones and real people lending their real info for me to use...pretty soon I'm going to have to buy profiles to use

Maybe they seen the account had no cookies or browsing history and thought that was a flag? Not sure

I would consider buying an already-created account that has a little age on it. Then tune the Residential IP to the location of creation on IP burger. Keep it under the radar then when you get the dreaded update of your tax information, plug in your details and again return IP to your details.
I know my old accounts did fine going to IPBurger VPNs after years of using a different service.

And this makes 100% rational sense. You’ve established positive enough reputation, why should algorithms be strict on accounts like this? They aren’t. That’s why most of eBay sellers who run profits are from aged accounts. It’s in their earnings reports.

Well an update , im still getting banned within 20 minutes of listing and I’ve run out of ideas as to why . Only thing I can think of for now is that they somehow see me creating these accounts on the same Mac but that doesn’t even make sense .
Idk anymore tbh , they just seem to ban every single account

Keep it simple and slow for 30 days
no, not at all. I mean changing phone, email, etc...
